6 Ways To Prepare For Postpartum

The way that we approach the postpartum period here in the US does women a huge disservice, in my opinion. It’s all about how fast we can “bounce back” and shed the baby weight, rejoin our communities, and prioritize the caring of others.

Very rarely are we told by doctors or society at large to take as much time as we need to recover from the physically demanding event that is pregnancy + childbirth. And, in fact, the faster we get back to work or return to life as normal, the better and “healthier” we are seen in the eyes of outsiders.

Instead of treating the postpartum period as if it’s something to conquer, we want to encourage new moms to approach this time like our ancestors did, in a much gentler manner—prioritizing rest, warm comforting foods, bonding time with baby, and restorative activities for the first month or so. For a lot of us, that may mean asking for extra help from our partners, friends, and family members with things like chores, meal preparation, childcare (for older children), and errands. If you don’t have a built-in community to rely on, consider hiring a postpartum doula to carry some of the burden. It really does take a village to welcome a baby into the world, and there’s absolutely zero shame in asking for support wherever you can get it.
